hey PropHydro, hows she run when your swinging the timin plate? i run mine locked up on advance.

Fred,
It's manners are a lot better around the dock and at idle. Where we were running it you have no wake zones and could not just pin it and go. Ran just like the 75 Stinger regarding her running characteristics. Gas and spark synchronized real good at low end.

Yep. I've done both on many motors and agree 100% w/what you just wrote.

does anybody have pictures of 2cylinder(40-60hp) with dual 2barrel carbs. the barbados coast guard had them on their boats in 1987, had not seen those engines before.
